Crash when loading ViewHolder after Proguard added

[andrew-locklair]

Error below only occurs if proguard enabled. I also have this in my proguard rules:

-keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$OutcomingTextMessageViewHolder {
     public <init>(android.view.View, java.lang.Object);
     public <init>(android.view.View);
 }
-keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$IncomingTextMessageViewHolder {
     public <init>(android.view.View, java.lang.Object);
     public <init>(android.view.View);
 }
-keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$IncomingImageMessageViewHolder {
     public <init>(android.view.View, java.lang.Object);
     public <init>(android.view.View);
 }
-keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$OutcomingImageMessageViewHolder {
     public <init>(android.view.View, java.lang.Object);
     public <init>(android.view.View);
 }

Issue is resolved if I keep all from ChatKit:

-keep class com.stfalcon.chatkit.** { *; }

Same thing happened to me, except -keep class com.stfalcon.chatkit.** { *; } doesn't work either.

Did you implement custom view holders? If yes, you need to keep their names from being obfuscated.

You can use this proguard rules

-dontwarn com.stfalcon.** -keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$OutcomingTextMessageViewHolder { public (android.view.View, java.lang.Object); public (android.view.View); } -keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$IncomingTextMessageViewHolder { public (android.view.View, java.lang.Object); public (android.view.View); } -keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$IncomingImageMessageViewHolder { public (android.view.View, java.lang.Object); public (android.view.View); } -keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$OutcomingImageMessageViewHolder { public (android.view.View, java.lang.Object); public (android.view.View); } -keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$BaseMessageViewHolder { public (android.view.View, java.lang.Object); public (android.view.View); } -keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$BaseOutcomingMessageViewHolder { public (android.view.View, java.lang.Object); public (android.view.View); } -keep class * extends com.stfalcon.chatkit.messages.MessageHolders$BaseIncomingMessageViewHolder { public (android.view.View, java.lang.Object); public (android.view.View); }
